"I think that [DragonTime] had a very unique design and the theme itself was unique. The way that it ended up all coming together was very cohesive and consistent that differed from previous yearbooks," Orth said. "It adhered to the rules of journalism and that we successfully documented the school year. I think, overall, the book was very well received by the student population, parents, and community members."

On top of their acknowledgment at the state level, Dragon yearbook was recognized on a national level. The "Pacemaker" award is given to the best yearbooks in the nation, like the Spartan for Michigan. Dragon scored right below the Pacemaker, placing them in first class.

Students submitted their work to the Michigan Student Film Festival and were "Best in Show" for News Program (2/10/14) (LO-AM) and PSA (Riley Bussell).

"I'd say it's been a phenomenal year," Roger Smith, TPW advisor, said. "When you look at the stats, we got the most entry winnings hands and shoulders above any other school. We swept first and second place in several categories."

In addition to LO-AM's individual awards, they submitted their show for "Best News Cast" and placed third.

All-MIPA

LO-AM staff member, Ana Cordera compiled a portfolio, consisting of an essay, resume, letters of recommendation, and pieces of student work, to be submitted to a board of MIPA representatives. Among all of the applicants, Cordera was selected among fourteen other students to be placed on the MIPA Student Journalism Staff. Out of the fifteen candidates, four are selected for "All-MIPA," one for each journalism category. Cordera was granted this title on top of a college scholarship, which she will use towards her studies at Northwestern University in the fall.

"Ana is very distinct because of how well-rounded she is. She is not just a video journalist, even though they honored her for the video side. She has written things for The Review (internship in the fall), own journalism blog, and a girls teen magazine," Smith said. "Now she is the top video journalist in the state."
